woodartdon, i seen someone post that the Almighty changed, thats why i posted from Malachi. Don't get offensive. i'm not trying to hijack your thread, i just don't go for people lying and changing the truth, then saying the Almighty is the one that changed it.
Has our High Priest changed or not? IF that is the case, which it certainly is for me, then the law has changed.
How has the law changed? I no longer have a heart of stone that follows after the law written on stone, the Ministry of Death.
My High Priest has changed me from the inside, turning my heart of stone into a heart of flesh, causing love to be shed abroad inside this new heart of flesh. This law that is now written on my heart, the circumcision of my heart, is what fulfills the old law written on stones. But it is not me who fulfills the law written on stones, whenever I go back and try I see I can't do it perfectly. But when I abide in Christ I see He fulfills the law in me by the Holy Spirit.
That is why there is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. They can't be condemned from any direction. Not from those who preach following the ministry of Death, nor from satan himself. Anyone who says you haven't done enough, you haven't kept a specific day holy, you don't keep the correct festivals, none of your works are good enough, you just agree with them. They are correct. You aren't perfect. But you are set aside. You are sanctified. You are cleansed. You are holy as He is holy. How? By the work of our High Priest, by faith.
I would much rather trust in His Work that He has already completed as well as His Work in me, than my own feeble attempts at my carnal understanding of keeping the law.
Hebrews 7:11-12,16
[SUP]
11 [/SUP]If therefore perfection were by the Levitical priesthood, (for under it the people received the law,) what further need was there that another priest should rise after the order of Melchisedec, and not be called after the order of Aaron?
[SUP]
12 [/SUP]For the priesthood being changed, there is made of necessity a change also of the law.
[SUP]
16 [/SUP]Who is made,
not after the law of a carnal commandment, but after the power of an endless life (there's the change).
